Live and Let Growl

A Melanie Travis Mystery, Book 19

De: Laurien Berenson

Narrado por: Angie Hickman

For a dog lover like Melanie Travis, the opportunity to attend the Kentuckiana Dog Show Cluster is not to be missed. Fortunately, the timing coincides with her spring break from teaching, so she heads for Central Kentucky with her sister-in-law and Aunt Peg, who's accepted a weeklong judging assignment. Once there, Aunt Peg reconnects with an old friend, Ellie Gates Wanamaker, a former standard poodle exhibitor and a member of a well-heeled Kentucky family. Miss Ellie has been out of the dog show world for more than a decade, but when Melanie invites her to spectate at the Louisville Kennel Club dog show, she's eager to accompany her.

Miss Ellie's presence at the expo center, however, provokes mixed reactions from exhibitors she hasn't seen in years, including some outright animosity. The following day Melanie learns that Miss Ellie has suffered a fatal accident while exercising her dogs. Aunt Peg, however, suspects foul play. Wishing to avoid any scandal, Miss Ellie's pedigreed family prefers to let sleeping dogs lie, but as Melanie begins to sniff around, she discovers Miss Ellie had many secrets, both in the dog show world and among her Kentucky kin....

Inexperienced New Narrator

I too enjoy the series; however, I am. Or a fan of the new narrator and won’t continue with the series. I would rather spend my money on narrators that can bring a story to life rather than sound the same from character to character.

Enjoyable story but bad narrator

I love the Melany Travis stories. I read many of them years ago and was delighted to find so many available on Audible. I started from the beginning again and I loved the narration - until this book. This narrator is, frankly, dreadful and I don’t criticize much! What a shame.

Reader is awful !

Why did you change Readers, she is terrible. so sad I can't even get through the story. So monotone so so sad !!
series ruined

disappointed

I was a little let down by the abrupt ending. the ending left me hanging.

skipping/voice

the narrator that read story sounds like a computer! I couldn't really even understand part of it

Need the old narrator back

I love this series and the narrator of the previous books was fantastic. I almost couldn't listen to this book, the narrator sounded like a first grader trying to read. Really disappointed that she's narrating the rest.

I’m done with this series

Very disappointing the reader changed. Don’t know what happened but new reader has a robotic narration and the dramatic difference in characters from the last reader is too much. All the voices sound too similar and not as much flare and acting as the last reader throughout the beginning of the series until this book. Paid a credit for it to try it out and not worth another credit to continue.

Changed Narrator

So bummed. The new narrator simply cannot read the voices in an entertaining way. So, this is the last book in this series I will purchase.

Boring Narrator

Jessica Almasy used to irritate me, but I realize now that she was better than I thought. Her voice for Aunt Peg was wonderful. This new narrator speaks too slowly and sounds bored with the story. Nearly every character speaks in the same voice. She mispronounces words--even the author's name! I'm seriously considering returning the next book unread.

So Addicted !!

LOVE the Melanie Travis series !! Can’t get enough of !! And her Aunt OMG !! Hits so close to home ! Can’t wait for the next book ! A must read !!
